The Minor
Catalog description:
18 hours in Economics: ECON 101, 102; 12 additional hours in Economics, at least
6 of which must be at the 300 level or above.
Discussion:
Minoring in economics is an attractive option for students who wish to
complement their studies in another department with a solid grounding in
economics. With the flexibility in course choices built into the minor,
students choosing it can create programs of study consistent with their academic
and career objectives.
As described above, students minoring in economics are required to take 18
hours of courses in the major and none outside it. Of the 18 hours in the major,
12 are elective. When choosing your electives, it is recommended that you
select clusters of related courses. This will lead to greater mastery of course
material and depth of understanding. Keep in mind that every course is not
offered every semester, and that some courses have prerequisites. See an economics faculty member
to confirm that the courses you'd like to take are offered the
semesters you'd like to take them. Examples of related clusters include:
